Because of the convenience of transporting materials by land and water, Yin Zhengmao, the governor of Liangguang, was stationed in Zhaoqing, including the two vast armies he had assembled, and was also stationed here to deter bandits at sea in Liangguang and Zhuyi with military might. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn the strict sense, it is more like a front-line command post in wartime, while the administrative functions of Guangdong are mainly concentrated in Guangzhou.

At present, the highest power in Guangzhou is Ling Yunyi, the governor of Guangdong. He has a close friendship with Zhang Juzheng and Yin Zhengmao, and naturally understands the importance that his old friends attach to this battle.

Yin Zhengmao has already achieved enough performance in the two vast lands, and he only needs one opportunity to transfer to the ministry and reach the apex of his officialdom career. As one hundred and thirty candidates in the examination, Yin Zhengmao, who did not enter the Hanlin Academy, had no possibility of entering the cabinet and becoming a senior official in the ministry, which was his highest pursuit.

Guangdong's mild climate is very suitable for raising people, and Lingnan's lychee is also one of Yin Zhengmao's favorite fruits. However, compared with the hinterland area, the environment in Guangdong is too difficult, and it is too far away from Beijing. The distance means that it is easy to be forgotten by the superiors, and the north and south capitals are the places where Yin Zhengmao wants to go.

The new monarch ascended the throne, the high arch was high, and the court had many twists and turns, and now it was just calm, and it was a good time for Yin Zhengmao to go back to Nafu. The current emperor and the first assistant both need a brilliant victory, as a celebration of the new monarch's accession to the throne, it also proves that the new first assistant is the pillar of the country, and he can bring a great victory as soon as he takes office.

Compared with Hu Qi's nine sides, which plagued every year, Liangguang's military exploits were easier to obtain. Whether it is the Japanese pirates overseas or the mountain people who have repeatedly rebelled at home, their combat effectiveness is not enough to shake the lifeblood of the country, and the officers and soldiers of the economic system can completely eliminate these bandits. But if you want to be promoted to the department, a small victory is not enough, as a professional finale, the results of this war are brilliant enough to attract the attention of the Jingshi and make his resignation perfect.

Moreover, only if this battle is fought beautifully, Yin Zhengmao's guarantee has weight. Between the two of them in the same year, there was already a tacit understanding, Yin Zhengmao was promoted, and the position of governor was vacant. It will inevitably play a concert, and Ling Yunyi will take over. As long as he fights well, the court will not refute his face, so the significance of this use of troops and Yu Yinling is extraordinary.

Although Ling Yunyi is a civilian official, he is no stranger to military affairs, and he understands the principle that soldiers go first before they move grain and grass. Especially this time, with the help of Zhejiang soldiers, the combat strength of this army is as well-known as its dependence on military salaries. The reason why these Yiwu mountain people are willing to work hard depends on the monthly salary of nine yuan per person, plus the reward of the battlefield. Once the supply of money and food is not available, it will lead to the salary of the guest soldiers, and Yin Zhengmao's face will be lost.

As a defender in the rear, Ling Yunyi will not rob Yin Zhengmao's exploits, and the job he has to do is to ensure that the front line is full of food. The more beautiful things are done, the more secure the governor's position will be.

As a scribe, Ling Yunyi is known to be elegant, and he will dance a sword all the way in the morning before going to work, and today is no exception. After finishing the swordsmanship all the way, his head was already full of sweat, and Chang Sui handed over the twisted warm towel, he took the towel and asked while wiping his face: "What news is there from the Guangzhou Mansion?" How's the money and food receivable, how is the delivery? Tao Yangzhai is known as a capable official, but this time the money and food are solved, how can it be so rubbing. ”

"If you go back to the master, the money and food are still the same, and according to Tao Taishou's statement, the situation in Guangzhou this year is not good. Last year's typhoon and the beginning of the year rained was a good thing, but it rained too much, and there was a risk of waterlogging. Most of the people's crops have not been harvested, and it is already difficult to collect autumn grain in advance, let alone levy an additional half a year......"

"It's his business to be embarrassed, and Zhaoqing's military needs can't be delayed. He said this because of poor entertainment, and I can't explain it to me. Xunyang's treacherous mountains and rivers, I have also been a governor, and I know more about farming than him. If you want to talk about disasters, it happens every year. The wind and rain are smooth all year round, and there is no wind or waterlogging, unless it is a dream. There is no such reason that food should not be paid in the event of a disaster. When it was time to pay the money and grain, not only could it not be less than half a penny, but it was also common to collect grain taxes in advance for several years. If this is not the case, how can you raise those Zhejiang soldiers in Qi Nantang? Tao Yangzhai wants to be a good official who loves the people like a son, I don't object to it, but let the soldiers on the front line starve, this can't be done! He turned back to the people around him and said that the military situation was in full swing and could not be delayed, and if there was any delay, I would definitely go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and appoint a strict staff. ”

Due to the official system of the Ming Dynasty, the prefectures and counties did not meet, and the same governors and ministers did not meet with the government officials. The governor is a single official, there are no subordinates under him, and the prefect's assessment power is not in the hands of the governor, Tao Jianzhi is such a strong prefect, not only makes the people below uncomfortable, but also feels bad as his superior.

This long-term follower also knew that his master had been angry with Tao Jianzhi several times, and he had been looking for an opportunity to touch a nail for Tao Jianzhi. Laughed:

"Master, when it comes to money and food, when I went out to buy today, I happened to encounter a very interesting thing. The head of the Nanhai County test said that he wanted to send money and food to the imperial court, but after entering the city, he was actually taken. ”

Ling Yunyi put the towel down, "The head of the case was taken?" This is really interesting, this place in Guangzhou seems to be bold, and even the capital dares to arrest the case, which yamen did it? ”

"It's a person from the Yamen of Nanhai County, I heard that this person didn't pass the grain chief, and he sent money and grain by himself, which is not in accordance with the rules. From outside the city, they beat gongs and drums, saying that the head of the Nanhai case sent military rations to the lord, and when they arrived at the yamen, they made a lot of noise, and they hated the bookstore of the house, and they arrested the people as soon as they gave an order. ”

"How dare you insult scholars? It's time to take care of the officials of the South China Sea. Ling Yunyi's tone was cold, he was also a scholar, of course he couldn't look down on the officials and dared to override the scholars. Even if the head of the Nanhai case is still a white man in principle, but as an alternate talent, he is also a member of the scholar, and only the scholar can cure him, when will it be the turn of this kind of official?

But he pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "The head of the South China Sea case?" Is it Fan Jin, who made a lot of trouble in Guangzhou before? ”

"If you go back to the master, it's not that person. Cai Xuetai was damaged by him, and he was ordered to be the head of the case, which is also a good story in our Guangdong. ”

"Story? Stupid words are pretty much the same. Cai Bingwen is not good at wealth and has to make a false name, he has a reputation for not avoiding revenge, and the benefits are far greater than Fan Jinwei, and he doesn't know how to rejoice behind his back. Because of this case, many gamblers have lost their capital, and maybe this house secretary office is also a gambler, and they will be angry when they find an opportunity. ”

As he spoke, Ling Yunyi shook his head again, "No...... I'm afraid it's not that simple. Fan Jin is known to be beating gongs and drums, and he is making a lot of noise in the house, which is obviously intended to provoke the people in the house, and there must be a trick. He used Cai Bingwen's name to fulfill his reputation, but now he has hit the idea on my head, which is really bold! ”

"Master, since this is the case, the little one should take care of the county government and give him a good taste?"

"He made a big deal and said that he was sending me food, if you let the county yamen concoct him, wouldn't it be that the matter of military rations for the imperial court would not be able to keep people safe, and then it would be difficult for us to do business later. Since he is the head of the case, he is under the management of the school administration, and let's see how Cai Bingwen intervenes in this matter, let's just watch from the sidelines. You send someone to keep an eye on this for me, and don't let it 'drown' casually. ”

"Master, ...... you are"

Fan Jin wanted to make an article about the old man, and the old man happened to make an article about Fan Jin to test his skills. This Fan Jin was not honest when he took the county test, and the government test was imminent, and he made such a fuss, but he was a person who could toss. Haosheng checked, what is he tossing so for, if he can't make a point, don't count on his future. ”
